Lightweight and compact, it delivers reliable conductivity with a sleek silver finish, making it an essential tool for innovative DIY tech projects. ## Description This is 30 feet of conductive thread spun from stainless steel fiber and wound on a plastic bobbin. Use it to sew up all of your e-textile projects. This small bobbin is a great way to get into wearable electronics without the upfront cost of buying an entire spool of thread. 30 feet of thread is enough to get a simple design stitched onto your shirt, backpack or hat. What sets this thread apart from the other conductive thread that we carry is the fact that its actually spun from this stainless steel fiber and doesnt have a nylon core. This means that while it may not be easy to solder to, because its stainless, it also wont burn up when you touch it with a soldering iron. Suitable for hand or machine sewing (as a bobbin thread), its particularly toothy, which means that it grabs tight to your fabric- if youve had problems with slippery conductive thread that wont lay flat or knot, this thread will be a welcome relief. Weve had no trouble using it for close, tight connections, but if youre worried, waxing the thread should keep it manageable!

Is it too thick?** A: It is suitable if the rest of your glove is not too delicate. I have used it for making woolen mittens touch friendly and it works just fine. **Q: Will it be able to sew through silicon and still work as a touchable glove for touch screen devices?** A: Yes I would think it could sew through silicon, as the thread is very strong. However you may have a problem sliding the needle through silicon due to silicones sticky nature and the eye of the needle will have the folded over thread in it. Best of luck. **Q: Is this sewn to the outside the glove or in the inside lining only?** A: It is sewn so that the thread touches the finger on the inside of the glove and also on the outside to make contact with the screen. **Q: Is it possible to sew this with a machine?** A: I don't know as I never tried, but do not see why it is not possible. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius product read my review *by S***S on 14 February 2019* I was reading reviews about this product which made me a bit sceptical as people were saying this stuff doesn't work!Well I received mine and put it to use on a set of gloves which I use for work dailey.This stuff really works 100%the important bit when stiching is, it has to go through the glove so your finger is making contact with the actual stitch!mobile phones and most pda's have cpacitive screens and work when you make contact with the skin (finger or what ever you touch your phone with body wise😁)It will work as your body gives off a electrical charge making contact.Quite simply this must be the reason people have give bad reviews as they haven't stiched right through their glove.Just copy the amount I've used in my photo and make sure you follow what I've said here and your be golden. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! *by A***U on 6 May 2019* I have used this thread on two pairs of motorcycling leather gloves, including rather thick winter gauntlets with an Outlast internal membrane. I feared possible problems, being leather etc. but all went well at the first attempt. Gloves still look good and more importantly they work flawlessly with my tablet! The job took only a few minutes see photo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% stainless steel *by M***S on 12 August 2019* The only draw back was that there is not much on the roll, less than on the other ones I bought. Because of the price and amount you get for it, I won't buy this one again in the future. But otherwise good quality and easy to work with. Also with this one I did the magnet test and it stuck immediately to the Magnet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/57974922-sparkfun-conductive-thread-bobbin-30ft](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/57974922-sparkfun-conductive-thread-bobbin-30ft) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
